We have a treat for you today: a sneak peek at some of the food that will be served at Disney's soon-to-be newest restaurant, Trattoria al Forno! Recently, we shared with you a first look at some of the menu items that are planned when the restaurant opens later this year at Disney's BoardWalk (all subject to change, of course). But I was excited to find on my trip to Walt Disney World last week that the restaurant is already serving breakfast! Well. Sort of.

Recently, I attempt to tackle all 6 of Disney’s US Theme Parks in a 24 hour period. That’s right, Orlando to Anaheim. This had been done in the past by others, so I decided to add a few extra stops to the mix. A Water Park, Mini Golf, Downtown Disney, and a few Disney Resorts. How many could I visit in 24 hours? The rules were simple, visit each park or resort, do one activity unique to that park, document the progress, and have fun!

We have word that the Shark Reef attraction at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park will be permanently closing. the water park will begin its annual refurbishment tomorrow, and those familiar with the situation tell us that the Shark Reef will not be reopening following the refurbishment completion in early January 2015.

The Boardwalk Bakery is scaring up some Halloween fun this year. Our twitter followers wanted to see what was inside this Ghost Cupcake! (And, let's be honest, I did, too!) No stranger to unique treats of any sort (Peanut Butter, Banana, and Candied Bacon Pie, anyone?), the BoardWalk Bakery has earned its place as a go-to stop for cupcake gems - both seasonal and otherwise.

The view of the Chinese Theater may once again greet guests at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The Sorcerer Mickey Hat icon is set to be removed in early 2015. Originally placed in the park ahead of the 100 Years of Magic celebration in 2001, the 122ft tall Sorcerer Hat Icon was intended to be a temporary addition to the park, but it became a permanent feature. Its days are now numbered.

Walt Disney World confirmed this afternoon that it will remove the Mickey's Sorcerer's Hat from Disney's Hollywood Studios. The removal is expected to begin soon and to be completed by early 2015. The fate of the stage that has blocked this view of the hat in recent years is unknown, but many cast members expect it to be removed along with the stage. The removal of both would allow an unobstructed view of the Chinese theater from Hollywood Boulevard.
